I bought a car a few months ago, but I don't ever remember giving the car salesman my keys. I honestly forgot some of the details of the car sales game (already, whoops), but I'd say to stop doing that if you can. I remember that the one thing that could always always always always turn a deal back in our favor (had good 'ol dad with me) was saying the exact words "I think we're at the walking-away point." Of course, even though I finished my car stuff months ago, I got a call from a dealership (not where we got my car but where we had test driven/given my phone number) just a couple week ago with someone asking "hey still need a car?" To which I responded "nope I bought a car and moved to Indiana!" (which is true!). So I think you can expect spam from pretty much every dealership you give your contact info to. Also, if you have a certain car you want, I would look up that car on KBB or at other dealerships in the area. You might can even e-mail other dealerships and ask for a quote on that car (saving you the hassle and personal commitment) and take that quote and/or KBB info into a dealership that you physically visit. I bet you they'd want to match that quote (assuming it's lower)! But the KBB info can work with you on your trade-in also. Also, from what I've been told, at the end of the month and during holiday sales, salesmen want to reach certain quota and so are trying to get a better deal. Maybe the last weekend in October would be better? Or maybe that's just a myth that the dealers want us to believe haha. Overall, though, I wouldn't say to give business to dealerships where you had a bad experience.

No.

You feel dumb. But feeling dumb and being dumb are different things. This could happen to anyone =p.

I prefer showers. I don't have time for a bath, and my bathtub really isn't all that suited for it. Plus, I'm not fond of sitting in dirty water! But, I would probably take a bath if I was in a little set of mind

It's funny that I saw this topic here because I just opened up a bottle of wine in the name of calming down. I don't think that I've ever really been in a situation where I 100% lost my cool. But just to manage stress I do everything from taking extra showers (somehow that helps me relax mentally), to meditating (cue the breathing thing), to tuning out of reality (e.g. surfing the web or playing video games). That last one is my favorite! Since I don't have internet (posting via hotspot from my phone, something I do sparingly) yet in my new place, and since I've been SUPER busy this week, I opened up some alcohol. Probably not good to do that as a first resort and/or for minor stressors =o.

My computer would be pretty hard to live without. I tried to give it up for Lent 2 or so years ago, but I ended up caving in and modifying my Lenten pact so that I could use my computer on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

give the "you" character as much background as you like, imo! You're not gonna please everybody anyway. Some people might really love the extra background and for some people it might not do anything, and for some they might hate it. Me personally I would like to have some background!

I've seen plenty of fanfic that use second person, but it's written in second person so that the reader can insert themselves into the story. I can't imagine a set-up in which a story was written with second person AND in which it was very clear that the person being talked about wasn't the reader. If you think you can make it work then do it! But even if that's hard to do, you could always just intend for the reader to insert themselves.

Pretty much when I'm in the mood. But only at night. If I'm feelin' like it, I'll diaper up before bedtime. If I have time to lounge around in a diaper the next morning, then I'll sometimes do so. If not, then I just take it off when I get out of bed.

Photo kinda says it all. I don't mean to come across as salty/rude/gossipy, but I would have rather have read actual status updates rather than someone trying to find a mommy.

Well. Yeah. I don't think anyone will be taking this seriously. But it is neat that you're using your imagination to build a space (even if it's in your head) for littles.

I'm kinda doing the same thing. I wanted a sample of the waddler overnights and thought to myself "10 dollars for 2 diapers? eh." I have a few diapers to burn through before my stash gets cleaned out. So I'm waiting as well. I don't usually go for printed stuff, and I keep on telling myself that my next diaper will be a pull-up, but the waddlers look too good to not order as my next diaper!

^ I was looking at their overnight waddlers earlier today, so yeah please do keep us updated!

I like seeing diapers online, seeing new designs, and discovering new diapers that I might like to try sometime in the future.

I have no clue how the legalities work, but I think a few queer couples have used adoption as a way to become family, since they can't (or couldn't) get married in their states. Obviously, marriage is prefered. I think the real benefit is that you can guarantee that your stuff goes to your "spouse" (or adoptive child, in the eyes of the state) when you die.

That is very scary! This might not be what you want to hear, but you should seek medical help. I can imagine that it's scary talking to a doctor and having to bear your soul like that ("hey I don't remember what I did last night but I'm into diapers and..."), but it's the best choice.

I think ordering 6 sample packs over the course of 6 years is fine, even if you ordered some from the same company.

I only wear at night, so I don't think it's hard to fall asleep in a diaper at all!

I'm pretty sure that the author of that book is a member here. I might be mixing things up. Someone here (BabyJune?) is an author.

I checked out the new site as well. It looks pretty clean and nice! Their diapers are definitely cute-looking (though that's not what I look for in a diaper), but they cost like 3 dollars a diaper.

If the spot is so little, then maybe you could just use a pad instead? Hopefully, the difference between a pad and a diaper is big enough, pragmatically and psychologically, that you don't feel like you're wearing (or needing) a diaper when you use a pad!

^ that is also a good one.
